My buddy with no Legs hitting 4 plates on the bench

[XxxOneMoRepxxX]

Give credit where credit is due. That guy is inspirational. Wow

[NeverLifted]

amazing
would he be able to compete in a normal bench only comp?

[blkbelt42]

impressive!

[CookAndrewB]

His Wilks would be crazy

Lulz.

If his feet have to stay on the floor... I mean, when he takes them off, that is pretty much where they stay, right? USAPL: three whites? No way his butt is coming off the bench!

All jokes aside, I am im-fcuking-pressed. weight may be 405, but you take away all of the leverage and mechanical advantage that the rest of us have and I'd say he is a long shot stronger than most guys with a 405 bench. Good stuff.

[InclineDBPresss]

This is the exact reason I love this sport. Literally anyone can do it, but yet some make excuses for themselves. Pretty inspirational

[Loswaldo]

Strong dude is strong.

Anyone else read the thread title and assume he meant the guy had chicken legs. It wasn't until the end of the video that I realized he literally mean, NO legs

Same here. Was wondering what legs had to do with good form benching though (not a pl)

[Link815]

Videos like this are pretty incredible. I kind of want to try 405 with my feet up now to see if I can even do it.. but I'm scared. Reminds me of this woman in a wheel chair who benched 286 in the 132's that pretty much no one's ever heard of.

[Hardworker123]

Very motivational and inspiring. Good vid.

The paralympics has powerlifting, bench press only. Maybe shes done it before? (the lifters in it are paralyzed from the waist down)

[DatAzz]

What. the. Fcuk....

That's insane, really just thought "Legs" was a funny nickname for a guy with skinny chicken legs.

One of the most impressive lifts I've seen, that's awesome

[C0bra]

came in expecting a vid of a guy with scrawny legs cuz he doesn't squat

saw vid of guy with literally no legs

I am speechless

[babylover]

This. And I was looking at the vid I was thinking 'man, even with the shorts you can tell this guy has tiny legs...'

That was ****ing awesome.

[XBoomerX]

He hit 420 the other day. He is supposed to be posting a vid. I did some research and for the Paralympic world record for his weight he is about 60lbs away if he cut about 5lbs he would only be about 25lbs away. I'm going to do my best to get him to go for the US Paralympic team.

Without cutting any weight he is less than 5lbs from breaking the American Disabled record according to disabledpowerlifting.org which is directly linked from the Paralympic page.

[Jacobs64]

When you said "no legs".. I wasn't expecting that. Very impressive.

[tbruss]

That's just amazing!!

[OneAndOwnly]

That's awesome! Best of luck if he decides to compete.

[muscle_g]

That's great!!!!

Yeah, she's won the Paralympics several times. She's also benched like 286 in the IPF.

OP: Has your friend tried the strapping to the bench thing? It seems like most disabled lifters are able to do that in competition. He'd probably have 10-15 more pounds just from the added stability.

I was expecting the legs of a cross country runner.........Quite impressive, guys got some drive to be lifting after such event.

[1Venom1]

impressive

[jekyll22]

EDIT: Wow.

amazing and impressive as phukc

[NephilimRising]

Your friend may already have the record since the paralympic benchers are strapped to the bench.

[GDA]

Prosthetics ftw

Amazing.

i actually remember hearing an argument about a similar situation. there was a guy competing bench only with one leg. someone was trying to insist that he weigh in with his prosthetic, even though he didn't use it on the platform.

[SomeRandom]

That's amazing. Like most people I expected someone who didn't squat and had skinny legs. Came in to realize he literally has no legs. Very inspirational.

[madavatar22]

Brings a new meaning to the phrase “quite yo bitchin and start lifting”
